Beta release

After initial testing, it was clear a larger hole for cable was needed. It's been enlarged to 2mm across all models. The models have been shrunken down to print faster and look better.

v1.0.0-alpha Pre-release
Pre-release

This is an initial release of the new mon-cheri cable crimps. These 3D print optimized knarps are designed to work with M3 grub screws and typical shifter and brake cables. Release includes the following mon-cheri shapes:

  • barrel - a drum-shaped crimp with pinch bolt on one face. I'm interested to test this one against having the bolt hole on the radius
  • ball - small round gumdrop for pinching
  • tri - a triangle for that sporty safe look

Tips

  • Each model requires an M3 grub screw
  • Recommended filament: PETG or a similar
  • Use 3 or 4 vertical walls in ensure strength around the screws
  • The M3 bolt should self-thread in on the first crimp, no need to tap
  • Loosen just enough to free cable, avoid removing bolt entirely after initial use
